The Other Side of Jihad -- Honor Killings
fox news ^ | June 11, 2010 | Phyllis Chesler

We usually associate jihadic warriors with fiery, anti-American and anti-Israeli sermons and with homicide bombings and airplane hijackings. We don’t think of jihadists as homebodies or in terms of their family relationships.

But we should.

Islamic fundamentalism (Islamism) is associated both with terrorism—and with Islamic gender apartheid. Thus, Islamists demand that their women shroud themselves, marry their first cousins, serve their brothers and father as domestic servants, keep quiet about routine daughter--and wife--battering, and keep away from infidel influences.

If they don't, they risk being honor murdered.

show me a jihadist and I’ll show you someone who believes in polygamy, demands that his women wear the Islamic veil, keep away from “foreigners,” and remain totally obedient and subordinate to him. If not, their lives are in danger. And they are warned about this repeatedly.

young immigrant girls or first generation citizens are being murdered by their own families in honor killings in the West.

such classic killings have accelerated significantly over the last twenty years. ...Muslims committed 96% of these murders in Europe, 84% in North America, and 91% worldwide. Sikhs and Hindus committed the rest.

immigrant girls and women are at special risk in the West. Those who exercised their option to assimilate were killed in particularly gruesome ways.

In Europe, 68% of such killings were torturous, agonizing. Girls and women were stabbed 20-40 times, raped and set on fire, bludgeoned to death, beheaded, beaten, stoned. These women were tempted by Western freedoms. They did not want to wear religious clothing, they wanted to go to school, have careers, wear western clothing, have non-Muslim friends, and marry for love.

Such murders may be intended as an object lesson for other female immigrants who are expected to lead subordinated and segregated lives amid the temptations and privileges of freedom.

And ..the outcry from the feminists is... underwhelming..non-existent...

(Too bad those girls in this country didn’t assimilate their way to the second amendment)

Honor killings probably killed more people than terrorism.

Islam is an insane murder cult. The rest is PR.

Watch “Bliss” or the “Stoning of Soroya M.”. Powerful films that show you what we are dealing with.

Barnyard animals treat each other better than muslims treat other humans. Muslims in Pakistan hanged a 7-year-old boy to punish his grandfather. How evil can a religion go? And this is the religion of the Halfrican in our White House. How evil can this nation go?

mooslim credo re: females: We think you are animals and whores. You must be subjugated. If you resist, we will humiliate you, rape you and behead you. Have a nice day.

"show me a XXXXX and I’ll show you someone who believes in polygamy, demands that his women wear the (snip) veil, keep away from “foreigners,” and remain totally obedient and subordinate to him. If not, their lives are in danger. And they are warned about this repeatedly. " Not just Islam.

BTW, I believe that if they punished the family men who did not protect their daughters and wives from sexual abuse, their honor killing problem would reduce significantly. But, first, they'd have to start caring about their women.
